Contaminated Fuel May Cause Emergency Power System Failure

Most emergency power system (EPS) failures are caused by
contaminated or deteriorated fuel. Fuel goes through a natural
process of degradation when stored, which is why the National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA) recommends that steps be taken to maintain
its integrity (NFPA Standard 110). Maintaining a fresh supply
of fuel for an EPS is not as difficult as it once was. It is
now possible to filter fuel and clean the tank simultaneously
rather than emptying the tank completely and disposing of
contaminated fuel. Fuel additives may also be introduced to
help stabilize the fuel.

Our Goal: To satisfy all state and federal
requirements for Emergency Power Systems and to create a successful
fuel management program by providing preventative maintenance.
